What are some better alternatives to "followers" and "following"? We could do with a bit less messianic terms imo. "Connections" and "contacts" perhaps? Instead of "following" a profile we could "connect" with it.

I really think followers and following is fine. Not everything on nostr needs a unique term. Why confuse people more. Kiss principle.

Yeah might be. I just don't like the terms personally.

subscribe, ignore. they aren't that radical and build upon the decentralisation meme of nostr.

<old>cypherhoodlum 2y ago

Maybe subscribe and unsubscribe because they are natural opposites and ignore can be confused with mute and block.

mleku 2y ago

i was referring to mute/block when i said 'ignore'. subscribe and unsubscribe obviously are the add/remove or 'follow/unfollow'.

sorry to be unclear.

Ah okay, makes sense.
